text: Keswick Camping and Caravanning Club Site (267 reviews) from £8.40 to £14.10 Per person/night Contact Us Book It Images Map Select Section Overview Top site for pubs Top site for watersports Great site for couples Top sites for dogs Top site for cycling A beautiful location, Keswick campsite is great for active campers. If you're planning to explore the northern Lakes, our Keswick Club campsite on the shores of Derwentwater is hard to beat as a base for your explorations. The site boasts a prime location in the north of the Lake District with stunning views extending over the lake to the hills beyond. Keswick is an organised campsite with good facilities – showers, toilets, washing up area, a laundry and a new backpacker room, particularly useful for those arriving on foot or by bike. Keswick town is within walking distance and ticks all the boxes for provisions, outdoor gear, eating and drinking. Whether you're a stroller, a rambler, a high-level walker or prefer to see the sights on two wheels, you can take your pick from numerous lake- and hillside tracks and trails easily accessible from Keswick campsite. Skiddaw is also easily reached from site. And, with Derwentwater so close at hand there's no shortage of water-based activities to dip into. This stretch of water is popular for canoeing and kayaking. Fishing can be enjoyed on the lake too. Try the eastern shore or hire a boat from one of the marinas and head to the centre of the lake to catch pike, bream and trout. For a less energetic way to enjoy the water and the views board one of the motor launches which operate around the lake and offer several drop off points. At the southern end of Derwentwater is the beautiful valley of Borrowdale where you'll find the Neolithic Castlerigg Stone Circle and the medieval and much photographed pack horse bridge at Ashness. Worth Noting Due to the possibility of Site flooding all units must have a tow vehicle on site overnight. There may be restrictions on pitch availability and use of awnings. If you have more than one car or are visiting the site you may be asked to park off-site. WiFi 100% coverage cannot be guaranteed due to rural location, weather conditions and changing flora. These can cause variable signal strength. Hotspots are available. Prices. Eat Local There is a farmers' market in Keswick on Thursdays and Saturdays.

21-Year-Old Bobbi Kristina (Brown) Houston Gordon was found unresponsive in a bathtub in her Roswell, Georgia home. All details inside...
[UPDATE: 8:30p ET -- Sources state Bobbi Kristina has been put into a medically induced coma due to brain swelling.]
In somber breaking news, Bobbi Kristina Brown has been rushed to the hospital after being found unresponsive in a bathtub in her Georgia home (pictured today below).
Roswell police report that she was missing for several hours, and was found by her husband, Nick Gordon, and a friend. The two performed CPR on Bobbi Kristina until rescue workers arrived.
The Roswell Police Department stated an hour ago:
Police are on the scene of a rescue call at the home of Bobbi Kristina Brown, daughter of Whitney Houston. Her husband and a friend located her in a bath tub this morning and she was unresponsive. He started CPR and a police officer took over life-saving measures until an ambulance arrived. She was transported to the hospital. Please keep her and the family in your thoughts and prayers.
The Associated Press confirms that she was, in fact, taken ALIVE to the hospital. And she is currently breathing.
Her last post on social media was just 10 hours ago, and she posted the below:
YAYYYY :) finally my famBAM!!! @dmannnnnnn

The similar situation surrounding her mother's death has indeed caused even more concern. Whitney Houston was found unresponsive, and then was declared dead, after being found in the bathtub of her room at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. Her death occurred around this time three years ago, February 11th.
Bobbi Kris' family, especially her grandmother Cissy Houston and her aunt Pat Houston, have been vocally concerned about Bobbi's well being after Whitney's death. And there has been a family rift since Bobbi married Nick Gordon (above) without her family's approval.
Bobbi Kristina turns 22 in two months (March 4th).
We'll keep you updated on all developments.

Before the Super Bowl kicks off tomorrow evening, the YBF stars were out to party and perform in Arizona last night. Peep the pics of Nicki Minaj hitting the stage at the Bud Light House of Whatever concert and J. Cole rocking the stage at ESPN The Party inside…
Super Bowl XLIX weekend is in full effect in Arizona before the Seahawks go head-to-head against the New Englad Patriots on Sunday. And last night, the party scene was buzzing with performances from Nicki Minaj and J. Cole.
The "ONLY" raptress slipped into a laser cut one-piece before hitting the stage at the Bud Light House of Whatever pre-Super Bowl party to rock out to some of her hits.
And during her set, Nicki took a moment to get a few things off of her chest and it seems she may have been referring to her ex-boyfriend Safaree Samuels. She said, "Motherf*ckas get where they going and then they wanna leave yo ass when they get there. About Motherf*ckas that don't know how to appreciate a motherf*cking good thing until it's gone." Bloop!
Check it:

Well alright.
Before hitting the stage....
Nick sat down with news anchor Craig Melvin for an interview which she captioned, "Craig Melvin interviewed me for the Today Show. Airing tmrw. He's dope".

Roc Nation rapper J. Cole was tapped to perform ESPN The Party at WestWorld of Scottsdale last night. But before he hit the stage, he snapped it up on the carpet decked out in a Dodgers jersey.
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick was on the scene to party.
Detroit Lions runningback Reggie Bush made it a date night (leaving little Briseis behind) bringing his wife Lilit Avagyan along for the fun.
Sexy Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton was suited with his sneakers for the event.
Arizona Cardinals cornerback Antonio Cromartie and his wife Terricka Cason hit the carpet before the night's festivities.
New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz and his wife Elaina Watley posed it up on the carpet.
New dad (again) and "Extra" correspondent AJ Calloway was all smiles.
Dr. Michael Eric Dyson was in the mix.
And "House of Lies" star Mekhi Phifer came out for the fun.
Check out J. Cole rocking the stage:

Mariah Carey hit the stage in Jamaica for the first time for a live performance. See the pics and video from her set and read about Ciara gushing over motherhood and her new music inside….
Mariah Carey has performed all over the world over the years. But, she has never hit the stage for her Jamaican fans. That all changed last night as she was tapped to perform at the Jamaica Jazz and Blues Festival at Greenfield Stadium. And it appears the fans were all into MiMi and her classic hits as they sung along with the Elusive Chanteuse singer.
The Grammy Award winning songstress kept her fans entertained with three wardrobe changes and singing hits such as "Touch My Body" and "Fantasy". We're loving her performance pieces.
Oh...get it MiMi!
Peep a clip from her performance below (Note: at times the audio seems to run ahead of what she's actually singing):
Another mommy on her grind....
After giving birth to her son Baby Future, new mom Ciara is ready to get back to making music. With the release of her latest track "I Bet", it appears CiCi is pulling from her own life experiences and making great music in the process.
The R&B chick chopped it up with PEOPLE about how her son has been the inspiration behind her creative process as she works on her new album, which she named after her own mother. She explained,
"As soon as I had my son, everything changed," she says about choosing to name her upcoming album #Jackie after her mother. "I am now experiencing what [my mother] must have when I was young. [Becoming a mom] has inspired my creative process … and given me clarity both with songwriting as well as musicality for the album."
Since the release of her new single, everyone speculated that she was singing about her failed relationship with ex-fiance Future. Although she never admits whether or not the track is specifically about him, she did say she pulls from her own life experiences saying, "As a songwriter, I always pull from my life experiences as well as the experiences shared by others."
Not only is she cranking out new music, but she has also been flossing her post baby bod on magazine covers. And she's looking fab! She offered up a few tips to new mothers on how to snap back into shape and to not "overthink the process". She said,
"Enjoy the six-week period you have where you are not allowed to workout," she says. "As soon as you hit that mark, go hard, but find your pace, have a healthy diet plan … and drink tons of water."
Peep a few clips of CiCi singing "I Bet" acoustic:

Maria Bello Snags 20-Something Fiancé
Actress Maria Bello stars in the Brendan Fraser action flick, The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emporer, but the last place she's looking to find a husband is in a tomb—unlike some people.
Maria's rep confirmed to E! News that her client is engaged to 28-year-old Bryn Mooser.
News of the engagement was broken by the Times Herald in the couple's hometown of Norristown, Pennsylvania.
Mooser and Bello have been dating for a year and a half. They met when Maria dined at the restaurant where Bryn works as a part-time waiter.
Bello has gone on record that she "didn't understand monogamy."
However, after Bryn came along, Maria "started to understand the beauty of constancy and history and change and going on the roller coaster with someone."
Maybe Maria's taking her cues from Mariah Carey. She's also a fan of roller coasters.

Easy-to-follow video tutorials help you learn software, creative, and business skills.Become a member
There are times when the recurring feature of an appointment won't work out. For example, on Thursday I have got the Picnic Review meeting. This meeting needs to happen again the following week and again two weeks later. Unfortunately, it's not in a pattern that I can easily program in using the Recurring feature. I have already created the initial appointment with plenty of notes and other details, so that's all set. Now, I just need to take this appointment and clone it to two other days. There's two ways I can do this. The first is through drag-and-drop. In a prior video, I showed you that you can reschedule an appointment by dragging and dropping it to another date or time.
If I click and drag this appointment to Monday, it moves it to Monday. But if I do this while holding down the Ctrl key--that is, drag and drop while holding Ctrl-- when I let go, Outlook creates a clone, leaving the original in its place. I can even modify the new appointment, and this does not affect the original, unlike recurring appointments. Another option is through copy and paste. If dragging and dropping is a little inconvenient, I can use copy and paste the same way I might in Microsoft Word or Excel.
I will start by clicking on the border of an appointment and pressing Ctrl+C to copy. Now, I will move to the date and time that I want the duplicate to appear and press Ctrl+V to paste. That's it! The next video is for those of you who travel or work with people in different time zones. Let's proceed.
Access exercise files from a button right under the course name.

NEW YORK, N.Y. - Police have become increasingly at odds with New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio over the appearance he is taking sides against them after the chokehold death of a black suspect last month.
The conflict has prompted the city's top law enforcement official, Police Commissioner William Bratton, to do damage control by calling the mayor "very pro-cop."
What angered many was a recent forum in which the Rev. Al Sharpton, a prominent civil rights activist and one of the biggest critics of the New York Police Department, was seated alongside the mayor, a liberal Democrat, and the police commissioner as he lambasted law enforcement. Sharpton suggested the mayor's mixed-race son would be a "candidate for a chokehold" if he were an ordinary New Yorker. The image was seized on by critics of the de Blasio's administration and plastered on the cover of the New York Post newspaper with the headline "Who's the Boss!"
"It is outrageously insulting to all police officers to say that we go out on our streets to choke all people of colour as Al Sharpton stated while seated at the table right next to our mayor at City Hall," said Patrick Lynch, head of the powerful Patrolmen's Benevolent Association. Another union official, Ed Mullins of the Sergeants Benevolent Association, hinted at a work slowdown at the nation's largest police department.
The rift stems from the arrest of Eric Garner on suspicion of selling loose, untaxed cigarettes in Staten Island, one of the city's five boroughs. Amateur video appears to show an officer putting the asthmatic, 350-pound (159-kilogram) father of six in a banned chokehold after he refused to be handcuffed. He yells, "I can't breathe!" as several officers take him down.
Garner's death has fueled the biggest crisis yet for de Blasio, who took office this year vowing to achieve two goals that, at times, can be contradictory: He said he would drive down crime and repair strained relations between police and the community.
Former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani even weighed in on the controversy, saying in a radio interview that de Blasio made a "big mistake" during the appearance with Sharpton. "Setting up a press conference like that and putting a police commissioner in that situation. That's extremely damaging to the police commissioner, to keep up the morale of the police," Giuliani said.
In recent days, emails have circulated among police officers showing a mock identification card with a picture of Sharpton and the title "Police Commissioner." The activist has shot back by claiming he has the ear of federal officials who have the authority to bring civil rights charges in Garner's death.
"It is time to have a mature conversation about policing rather than immature name calling and childish attempts to scapegoat," Sharpton said in a statement.
Bratton responded to the uproar by giving a series of interviews Friday defending his department's record on race and de Blasio's attitude toward the department.
"We are not a racist organization," Bratton told The Associated Press. "And I will challenge anybody despite their perceptions of police on that issue. This is a department that goes where the problems are — whether it's crime or disorder."
De Blasio, he added, "is very pro-cop. ... This is not an anti-police mayor."
A city medical examiner found that the 43-year-old Garner was killed by neck compression from the chokehold along with "the compression of his chest and prone positioning during physical restraint by police." Asthma, heart disease and obesity were contributing factors.
The finding increased the likelihood that the case will be presented to a grand jury to determine whether any of the arresting officers will face criminal charges.
Along with rank-and-file discord, Garner's death has forced Bratton to defend his devotion to the policing tactic called broken windows — the idea that going after smaller crimes such as selling loose cigarettes or public drinking helps stop greater ones such as assault and murder. Some lawmakers and experts say the decades-old theory no longer applies to a city with far less crime, unnecessarily puts nonviolent people at risk and fuels tensions in the city's minority communities.
"Serious crime has decreased dramatically in New York City in the two decades that broken windows policing has been in force, yet the causal connection between that drop and huge numbers of arrests for minor transgressions is unproven to this day," Steve Zeidman, a law professor at City University of New York, wrote in a recent op-ed piece.
Bratton has insisted that the NYPD will stick with the tactic. He also has defended the powwow with Sharpton.
"Whether you like Al Sharpton or not, he clearly is a spokesperson, particularly for African-Americans, and that is reality," Bratton said in the AP interview.
Associated Press writers Jonathan Lemire and Jake Pearson contributed to this report.

Patch Adams is a 1998 semi-biographical comedy-drama film starring Robin Williams, Monica Potter, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Bob Gunton. Directed by Tom Shadyac, it is based on the life story of Dr. Hunter "Patch" Adams and his book, Gesundheit: Good Health is a Laughing Matter, by Adams and Maureen Mylander. Despite being poorly received by critics, the film was a box-office success, grossing over twice its budget in the United States alone.
Hunter "Patch" (Robin Williams) commits himself into a mental institution. Once there, he finds that using humor to help his fellow patients gives him a purpose in life. Because of this he wants to become a medical doctor and two years later enrolls at the Medical College of Virginia (now known as VCU School of Medicine) as the oldest first year student.

I need protein in the morning or I'm starving before 10! I like to sleep until the last minute possible, but need breakfast on the go. I was buying those Jimmie Dean Egg White sandwiches, when I thought "I can make these MYSELF, and CHEAPER too!" I cook up a dozen egg whites at a time - the LAZY way--I spray a silicone muffin pan with non-stick spray and place 1 egg white in each muffin cup and bake at 400 until done (about 15 minutes). I let them cool and freeze them in ziplocs. This is a great way to use up your eggs before they get old and saves me time in the morning. By the time I toast my multigrain thin (or you can use a light english muffin) the egg white are heated up in the microwave (about 30 seconds). I slap them on my toasted mutigrain thins with a slice of cheese and head out the door! Submitted by WISHICOULDFLY Carbs: 23g | Fat: 4g | Fiber: 5g | Protein: 16g | Calories: 179

Oct. 11 (Bloomberg) -- A strike by customs workers in Kuwait, OPEC's fifth-largest oil producer, may reduce available cargoes for the largest crude tankers, according to shipbroker and consulting firm Lorentzen & Stemoco AS.
About six tankers were prevented from leaving Kuwaiti ports yesterday as customs employees seeking higher salaries began industrial action, Fahad al-Ajmi, a union board member, said by phone today.
"If the strike persists through the week and beyond, there will be fewer very large crude carrier cargoes," Thomas Zwick, an analyst at Lorentzen in Oslo, said by e-mail today.
Kuwaiti crude exports total about 2.5 million barrels a day, more than enough to fill one VLCC, and the "current strike could therefore adversely affect this market," said Zwick. Daily returns for VLCCs hauling Middle East oil to Asia strengthened today to minus $5,041, according to the London- based Baltic Exchange, which assesses freight rates on international routes.
Global oil-tanker demand will advance 4.9 percent this year to 144.6 million deadweight tons, according to Clarkson Research Services Ltd., a unit of the world's largest shipbroker. That's less than its projected 8.1 percent expansion of the fleet to 173.1 million tons.

As we sipped red wine in Washington last week, Republican pollster David Winston suddenly asked me, "Why doesn't the media write more about issues that are of central concern to the voters? Why don't they write more about candidate differences and the implications for the country? Instead we get a litany of process pieces with issues as a sideshow."
When pollsters—yes, pollsters—start sounding like high-minded press critics, it's a sign that horse-race hysteria has grown to absurd levels. With the election still four months away, we are hooked up to ephemeral data bursts with a shelf life of four hours. As Winston, who has no connection to the Mitt Romney campaign, went on to say, "This coverage makes it difficult for voters to decide whom they want to give the responsibility of governing to."
But, as I struggled to explain to Winston, writing about issues in a presidential race is far more complex than merely listing Romney's and Barack Obama's policy proposals side-by-side, while projecting their costs based on green-eyeshade forecasts from a non-partisan think tanks. Covering issues in this formulaic fashion is not only yawn-inducing; all too often it is completely wrong.
The next day, John Roberts saved Obama's healthcare plan in stunning fashion, underscoring yet again the journalistic folly of spending more time trying to forecast the future than to understand the present. Once the Supreme Court ruled, press coverage of the healthcare issue buttressed Winston's complaint that the media cares about everything except what matters to the voters.
Every angle of the story was over-covered, except what President Romney would do about health care in the event that he and a Republican-led Congress rescind Obamacare. Romney's affirmative policy proposals, such as they are, became almost completely lost in the shuffle. Typical was an Associated Press story by Kasie Hunt and Steve Peoples that began with the intriguing lede: "So much for Mitt Romney escaping health care." But the AP dispatch almost exclusively dealt with Romney's latest efforts to explain away his support for a healthcare mandate in Massachusetts. This, admittedly, is a valid topic, but probably less critical to swing voters than what, if anything, Romney would do to address the concerns of Americans without health insurance.
A rare exception was a New York Times article by Trip Gabriel and Robert Pear that parsed Romney's proposals for healthcare tax deductions and transforming Medicaid into a block grant to the states. But for all its serious intent, the Times story quickly became mired in he-said-and-she-responded journalism. Without exception, every person quoted by Gabriel and Pear was either a Democratic or a Republican partisan. Ezra Klein, writing in his Washington Post blog before the decision in mid-June, did a far better job pointing up the lack of specificity in many of Romney's health-care statements.
Healthcare campaign coverage represents merely one symptom of a chronic journalistic malady—passivity when it comes to framing stories about issues. A prime example: Neither Obama nor Romney is talking forthrightly about what has become known as Taxmageddon, or the "fiscal cliff." Unknown to most voters, at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve all the Bush tax cuts will expire and draconian deficit-reducing budget cuts will kick in. In short, if Congress does nothing (dynamic inaction plays to the unique talents of legislators), the fiscal landscape on Inauguration Day 2013 will have changed beyond recognition.
But you'd hardly know it from the campaign beat.
As far as presidential issues go, the most potentially important story in the last few days came from Capitol Hill rather than from campaign reporters. A Reuters report by Kim Dixon and Richard Cowan detailed growing bipartisan sentiment on Capitol Hill to delay any lasting fiscal decision until after the new Congress and president are sworn in. Under this scenario, whoever is residing in the Oval Office on January 20 will be at the center of the biggest revision of the tax code since the mid-1980s.
The implications of this coming tax fight will dwarf any domestic issue in Campaign 2012—with the possible exception of the future of health-care reform. But little of this has been reflected in the campaign coverage. Instead, what we get are boilerplate paragraphs about how Romney wants to extend all the Bush tax cuts while Obama wants to roll them back for the affluent. Missing from all of this is a discussion of how Obama or Romney could use the expiration of the Bush tax cuts as a lever to enact far-reaching tax reform rather than just re-jiggering rates.

Jimmy Santiago Baca
Biography of Jimmy Santiago Baca
Jimmy Santiago Baca is an American Poet and writer.
Life and Career
Jimmy Santiago Baca was born in Santa Fe County, New Mexico, in 1952. Abandoned by his parents at the age of two, he lived with one of his grandmothers for several years before being placed in an orphanage. He wound up living on the streets, and at the age of twenty-one he was convicted on charges of drug possession and incarcerated. He served six and a half years in prison, three of them in isolation, and having expressed a desire to go to school (the guards considered this dangerous), he was for a time put in the same area of the prison with the inmates on death row before he was released.
During this time, Baca taught himself to read and write, and he began to compose poetry. He sold these poems to fellow inmates in exchange for cigarettes. A fellow inmate convinced him to submit some of his poems to the magazine Mother Jones, then edited by Denise Levertov. Levertov printed Baca's poems and began corresponding with him, eventually finding a publisher for his first book.
Immigrants in Our Own Land, Baca's first major collection, was highly praised. In 1987, his semi-autobiographical minor epic in verse, Martin and Meditations on the South Valley, received the American Book Award for poetry, bringing Baca international acclaim and, in 1989, the Hispanic Heritage Award in Literature. A self-styled "poet of the people," Baca conducts writing workshops with children and adults at countless elementary, junior high and high schools, colleges, universities, reservations, barrio community centers, white ghettos, housing projects, correctional facilities and prisons from coast to coast.
In 2004 Baca started a non-profit organization, Cedar Tree, Inc., that supports these workshops through charitable donations. As well as writing workshops, Cedar Tree has produced two documentary films Clamor en Chino and Moving the River Back Home. The organization employs ex-offenders as interns.
Published Works
Baca's poetry collections include C-Train and Thirteen Mexicans: Dream Boy's Story (Grove Press, 2002), Healing Earthquakes (2001), Set This Book on Fire (1999), In the Way of the Sun (1997), Black Mesa Poems (1995), Poems Taken from My Yard (1986), and What's Happening (1982). His memoir, A Place to Stand (2001), chronicles his troubled youth and the five-year jail-stint that brought about his personal transformation. Baca is also the author a collection of stories and essays, Working in the Dark: Reflections of a Poet of the Barrio (1992); a play, Los tres hijos de Julia (1991); a screenplay, Bound by Honor, which was released by Hollywood Pictures as Blood In Blood Out in 1993; he also published at the end of 1993 Second Chances; Baca is also the author of a memoir, A Place to Stand: The Making of a Poet (2002). Baca's most recent novel is A Glass of Water (2009)

Green Chile
I prefer red chile over my eggs
and potatoes for breakfast.
Red chile ristras decorate my door,
dry on my roof, and hang from eaves.
They lend open-air vegetable stands
historical grandeur, and gently swing
with an air of festive welcome.
I can hear them talking in the wind,
haggard, yellowing, crisp, rasping

Rev. William G. Sinkford, President of the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA), issued the following statement in response to the shooting at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. The UUA was touched by tragedy last year after a shooting at a Unitarian Universalist church in Knoxville, TN. The UUA is committed to speaking out against instances of violence, oppression, and exclusion based on identity. Rev. Sinkford's statement follows.
"My prayers go out to all those who were harmed physically and emotionally by this senseless act of violence. Hate crimes strike against our nation's highest values—equality, justice, and diversity. People of conscience must answer ignorance and anger by standing with the victims on the side of love and tolerance. As a nation we have to get beyond violence as our first response to difference. We need to find a way to move toward the beloved community, not in spite our differences but in celebration of them."
The Unitarian Universalist Association is a faith community of more than 1,000 self-governing congregations that bring to the world a vision of religious freedom, tolerance and social justice. For more information about the UUA, including recent press releases and news articles, please visit our online press room.

For several years, my grandmother was a serious pusher of all things Avon, and from everything I could tell, she was a big-time dealer of fragrances, make-up and other beauty accouterments that came through the mail-order cosmetics company. In fact, Grandmother Gresham sold so much of the stuff in lower Alabama that her house was always stockpiled with free gifts and samples awarded to those private franchisees who met or exceeded high-volume sales goals. An entire corner of her home maintained a general fragrance of Avon at all times, and as a result, so did her grandchildren.
LAURELS AND DARTS Laurels to Catawba County Schools leaders who are taking a hard look at the school system's budget in an effort to create a fiscal plan that protects the quality of education available to students. Darts to those same leaders who seem to be overlooking some of the most out-of-balance expense line-items that are in dire need of review.
Twenty-three makes and nine misses.
The Lady Tigers made their free throws when they counted and forced 23 St. Stephens turnovers to pick up the Northwestern 3A/4A victory.
Nine of the Lady Indian's turnovers in the game came in the third quarter, which allowed Foard to distance themselves from their opponents.
"The intensity level in the third quarter made all the difference in the world," said Lady Tigers head coach Wendy Price. "Every time we run our press well, we get turnovers. They turned it up out there. Just getting those layups off the turnovers was important."
It all started with a photograph.
Conover resident Don Barker snapped a picture of the 1982 graduating class of Newton-Conover High School sitting at the bleachers in Gurley Stadium.
Fast forward 29 years, and that same picture now appears in the major motion picture, "Leaves of Grass."
The picture is simple enough: seniors smiling and sitting primly together in seven rows. There was something special about the photo, however, and it caught the eye of NCHS graduate Sarah Parker, who works in movie post-production for Leaves production company.
Twenty-five years ago, the country watched in anticipation as seven astronauts prepared to lift off into space.
Seventy-three seconds later, the country watched with horror as those seven lives were lost in a massive explosion on the Challenger space shuttle.
Friday was the 25th anniversary of the Challenger explosion, an event that Catawba County residents say is akin to Sept. 11, 2001 or the Oklahoma City bombing on April 19, 1995.
Tax season is under way.
But in light of new rules taking effect this tax season, some residents could be forced to look for new tax preparers.
Internal Revenue Service guidelines mandate more stringent identification of who tax preparers are, making it more difficult for just anyone to file a tax return.
Required preparer identification number
William Neil Setzer, 76, of Catawba, passed away Friday, Jan. 28, 2011, at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem after a brief illness. Burke Mortuary in Newton is serving the Setzer family.
James Edward Devine, 81, passed away at the VA hospital in Salisbury on Jan. 27, 2011. Catawba Memorial Park, Funerals and Cremations are providing professional services to the Devine family.
A home run for the Crawdads.
The 2011 Hot Stove Banquet didn't disappoint the public and showcased a variety of local and national baseball teams.
Mark Seaman, Crawdads general manager, discussed the 2010 season on and off the field.
Last season, the Crawdads finished 75-64, which was second best in the Northern Division of the South Atlantic League.
Hickory also clinched the first-half division.
"This is probably the largest turnout we have had at the Hot Stove," Seaman said. "We appreciate everyone coming out and kicking off the 19th season of Crawdads baseball."
Neither Adam nor Elisa Baker were in attendance Thursday when District Court Judge C. Thomas Edwards agreed to continue their cases until April.
After receiving almost 140 applications for Newton's vacant city clerk position, the city's manager is paring down the applicant pool in hopes of making a hire next month.
The city clerk position is among a few job openings the city is currently advertising.

I'm trying to decide on which granite countertop to choose. The kitchen has oak cabinets, oak hardwood floors, and stainless appliances. The stove has a black cooktop. I'm thinking about a darker countertop - like black galaxy or blue pearl - but I'm still very open to suggestions. Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I think the contrast would be nice with the dark granite. You might want to look through the finished kitchens to see what appeals to you. http://finishedkitchens.blogspot.com/ |
With Oak I've been told that dark greens, red-browns, and whites are the best colors to consider. I've tried looking through the finished kitchens collection by using the categories tag and using Oak as a criteria. Most often what appears is dark greens (Ubatuba, etc), browns, and frequently soapstone. I wonder how Emerald Pearl would look with oak? Any thoughts out there? |
What color are the oak cabinets and floors stained? If the cabs are dark, you could chose a lighter granite. If they are light or natural, you could go with a darker granite. Here's my oak cabinets with delicatus granite. sorry it's such a messy picture....lol! |
- Posted by favabeans5 (My Page) on Mon, Nov 3, 08 at 8:22
speaking of emerald pearl here is how it looks with my maple cabinets.. you gotta be prepared for some bling with this granite.. depending on the light some sections of it might have a lot of the blingy pearl flakes.. |
My cabinets are a medium to ligher shade. They are maybe a little darker than favabeans5 cabinets. I like the bling on the emerald green pearl - maybe have to think about that one. |
I would pay close attention to the tones. I installed Emerald Pearl and agree it's a beautiful granite. However it did not work well with my honey-oak cabinets. The honey oak was too warm, the emerald pearl too cool. I ended up refacing the cabinets (I wasn't a fan of them in the first place). |
I did black galaxy with a medium/light stained birch -- "honey spice." I love it. I went with a light floor tile and backsplash, though. I think it has a warm look and feel. The bling is brilliant at night and quiet in the day. |
Fava -- your emerald pearl looks beautiful! Very pretty kitchen! |
We remodeled a couple of years ago, but kept our oak cabinets. We also have stainless steal appliances and oak floors. We used a dark granite which looks beautiful. I've been wracking my brain to remember the name of it, but can't. I will try to look it up tomorrow. It is a very dark grey/black/greenish with a lot of movement and oaky-golden colors. It looks great with our oak and stainless. |
Have a peek at mine; it's a lighter colored granite named Sunny Flower with honey oak cabinets. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Sunny Flower granite w/oak cabinets
Anyone use a white granite with oak? My question is based on the fact that the dishwasher is new and the range is new and they are white. Kitchen is an interior room with no windows so keeping things light is probably the best way to go. |
Did you decide on a granite yet? |
- Posted by asscher_girl(firstname.lastname@example.com) onSun, May 8, 11 at 3:06
i think the white granite with black and brown specs would look lovely...it would balance out the white appliances and the black and brown specs would pull in the cabinets. My only concern would be the shades of white not matching up or one looking cream compared to ultra bright white or something of that nature. Maybe one that is more black and brown with small specs of white. Good Luck to ya~ |

Life As An Olympic Couple
By YourTango
"I wouldn't trade having her by my side for anything," Matt said. "But it has been hard on us when the other is competing—it's difficult to keep your mind on your own game. Granted, at this Olympics it's been a little easier because we don't compete at the same time."
It stands to reason, then, that any such anxiety was surely alleviated as Matt watched Katy capture her first career gold medal in the women's 10-meter air rifle competition. "Her success gives me good energy and great motivation," he said.
Matt then followed that up with a silver medal of his own, and Katy countered with an additional bronze to give the couple a medal of every color in Beijing. But their collective success was quickly tempered when Matt committed another fatal error on his final Olympic shot, costing him an additional gold medal.
"Things happen for a reason," Matt said. "I said that last time, and it's the truth. Maybe last time, the reason was Katy. This time I don't know yet, but I'm sure something good's going to come from it."
After Matt's latest debacle, the delegation from the Czech Republic in Beijing opted to throw a party for Katy and Matt—in honor of both their Olympic performance, and, their blossoming marriage. The Czech prime minister was even in attendance, and the minister of the interior apparently offered to help Emmons become a dual citizen.
In short, no couple has been more popular in the Athletes Village here in Beijing than Matt and Katy Emmons.
"The past few days have been a roller-coaster ride, but not a bad one, because I like roller coasters," he said. "We're going home with three medals, so I can't complain. With her by my side, that's the most important thing. Whether I win or lose, she'll always be there supporting me."
Now the sharpshooting couple has their eye on the London Olympics in 2012. But Matt says there is an even bigger target dead-ahead.
"We want to start a family," he said.

Talking Heads
Purveyors of quirky, intellectualized, arty pop rock, the Talking Heads had a 12-year career in which they experimented with many musical styles, and they enjoyed huge success in the '80s. The band formed in 1974, when Rhode Island art-school friends David Byrne, Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth formed a band and left for New York to seek their fortune. They soon got their big break, opening for The Ramones at the fabled CBGB's, and were joined in 1976 by keyboardist Jerry Harrison. With this lineup, they released their debut, Talking Heads '77. This was followed by two considerably more ambitious and experimental albums produced by Brian Eno, who added numerous enhancements including African percussion to the group's original stripped-down sound. Their 1983 release Speaking in Tongues, and the tour the next year (which turned out to be their last), was the pinnacle of their career; the tour was immortalized by Jonathan Demme in the film "Stop Making Sense," which showcased the group's kinetic stage show and Byrne's compelling, often bizarre performance style. After the tour, the band focused mostly on solo projects; while they released two more albums, they officially broke up in 1991. They reunited in 1999 to promote the 15th-anniversary edition of "Stop Making Sense."

4 Steps to Selling With Social Media
Are you wondering why your social media efforts aren't working?
Social media success sometimes appears arbitrary.
Perhaps you've wondered, "Why does company X generate leads and business from their social activity while my company wastes resources on blogs that don't get read and tweets that go unanswered?"
Social media is so new, sometimes the path to success is unclear and it's easy to lose your way.
If you want to demystify the experience and improve your ROI (return on investment), you need to make sure that your marketing and campaigns include these four essential components:
How to Estimate Your Social Media Return on Investment
Are you wondering how to determine the return on your social media activities? If so, look no further.
In my prior Social Media Examiner article about Social Media return on investment (ROI), I discussed the financial definition of social media ROI.
This article goes a step deeper by working through a few examples of estimating the social media ROI.
Why Estimate a Return?
Before we go any further, let's review why we need the social media return and ROI again.
You use the return and the ROI to compare the efficiency of marketing campaigns; for an in-house team, you can use these numbers to negotiate budgets with your management; for agencies, you can use estimated numbers to land prospective clients and to retain current clients. The numbers are used in conjunction with social and web metrics to analyze and optimize current and future campaigns.
Hot Trends in Social Media: Globalization and Real Time
In this video I interview Steve Rubel, EVP/Global Strategy and Insights at Edelman Digital.
Steve reviews the biggest changes in social media over the past 12 months. He also shares the latest social media trends and gives tips on what businesses should focus on in the future.
Be sure to check out the takeaways below after you watch the video.
Is Klout a Good Judge of Your Social Media Influence?
Have you used Klout? Can it really tell you how influential people are online? Can it be gamed? Read my review and decide for yourself.
What Is Klout?
Klout calls itself the "measurement for your overall online influence," but what are they really trying to do? To understand Klout's goal, you have to understand influence itself and the difficulty in measuring social media ROI. In the beginning, social media was measured in followers and fans, and for a time, life was good.
But with companies joining social media sites by the tens of thousands, everyone got followed and eventually tricks, software and spam accounts ran wild. Newcomers were able to create large 'followings' and social media service clients couldn't tell who was legitimate, and who had purchased a great 'friend adder' software program.
If we can't count on raw numbers to tell us who's popular online, then what can we do? Enter Klout.
A Simple Way to Calculate Social Media Return on Investment
Social media return on investment (ROI) is simply a measurement of efficiency. It's a lot of things to a lot of people: "return on inactivity," "return on innovation" and "return on engagement."
